Mr. Hale: He was a very nosy person who was less harsh than the other male characters as he appeared to be less biased. He was very concerned about his neighbors.

Sheriff Peters: He is the husband of Mrs. Peters. Member of the community, so he cares about the Wright family, somewhat. Him, along with the rest of the men in the play were sexist.

Court Attorney: He seems as if he is superior to others as he is basically an outsider to the others. He is very dismissive towards others and as being a young character, it's almost as if he tried to overcompensate by trying to be the head of the crime scene.

Mrs. Hale: She was a very dynamic character who was very character. She seemed to have more of a backbone than Mrs. Peters. She's a big advocate for female rights as well. There is a sense of guilt she had towards this case as she knew of their previous troubles and felt as if she should have intruded earlier. She was the neighbor of Mrs. Wright. She hasn't seen Mrs. Wright for almost a year. She fidgets when she sees bad sewing.

Mrs. Peters: She was very submissive and doesn't necessarily hold her own ground. Her demeanor seems as if it will be able to find out that Mrs. Wright was guilty.

Mrs. Wright: She is a symbol of women and the struggles they have in their present day society as the characters emphasize how she has no kids, should be a better wife, and that essentially it's all her fault. She seems a bit lonely but at the same time, her personality is a little off as one could infer with her interaction with Mr. Hale-not to mention the killing of the canary. She most likely snapped at the end of the story. There a chance that she killed her husband. She had a pet canary.

Mr. Wright: He was strangled to dead beside his "sleeping" wife. He was not a kind person. He was a cold-hearted person and was described as a strong wind that cuts through the bone. He didn't want kids. He's uptight because he didn't like people talking, instead, he liked peace and quiet.
